Arrived in Nelspruit and went straight for a cafe - we wanted coffee!! Jenny was walking ahead a bit when two older women called Tess over and told her to wait. This part of town was dangerous!! ''Don't you worry we will find your friend!'' Can't say we were worried... Come on, it was in the middle of the day and the (black) people around us looked wealthy. Some white people... *sigh*

Went to an internet cafe after we had had a bite to eat, needed to find accomodation. First two hostels we could find were fully booked... Third time's a charm?? We were Very lucky! Got the last two beds at the third one we called.

Took a taxi there and met the hostel owner - a slightly confused man, but very sweet. We had not eaten properly since breakfast and were starving so we ordered in pizza. Oh... it was sooooo good! Jenny was exhausted so she went to bed, but Tess stayed up for a game of pool before she hit the sack. Kasane had worn us out!!! 😉

Just chilled the next day, talking to a couple of very sweet girls from the UK, Sarah and Nikk, and this couple from USA, Dean and Jill. Such a sweet couple! They have been together for almost 20 years and are still going strong! Played a lot of pool as well with the English chicks... We all sucked!! Each game took between 40 minutes and one hour. *haha* But we had lots of fun!
